[Q] Why does email FC when opening calendar invitation? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I've been carefully doing some debloating on my Verizon GS4 and suddenly found today that the native email app (which I sync with Exchange) force closes when I open a calendar invitation. All other aspects of the app work fine. Standard emails open with no problem. But if the email is an invitation it FCs. Any idea what I may have removed that is causing this?

I'm guessing I somehow deleted a service that works with the native Email app relevant to handling calendar invitations. But as I review the the list of apps from the debloat thread I just can't figure out what I need to restore to fix this. Any ideas?

did you delete the regular calendar? I know I did...
or maybe they are invitations handled by your work's specific aplication my work uses outlook and a lot of stuff only works on the desktop outlook application

I did delete the Samsung/Touchwiz Calendar app and have tried to restore it to see if that was the culprit. But the apk I have for it won't install. Any chance you or anyone else has a working MPK for the native calendar app that works on ME7? (FWIW, the apk I have is named SecCalendar_NAmerica_SPen.apk and it fails during installation.)

Cannot sync Hotmail calendar - CM9

I am running CM9 on my Touchpad and I am using the Hotmail app.
I can sync my contacts OK but I cannot sync my Hotmail calendar.
I can do this on my Android 2.3 phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I use the same app and have no issues... have you tried wiping the app's cache and data then uninstalling and reinstalling
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried several times to that.
When I go to the stock calendar, the only account I see is gmail .
And if I add a new account, I get message that the account is already there.
Any other ideas?

Have you uninstalled or frozen the email app?

I'm referring to the stock "Email" app that comes with Android. Or have you thought of using it instead of the Hotmail app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I believe this is a bug that started with Android v 4.0.x
For instance, my work email is a live365 account and my phone running CM9 will not my get emails, it's loading forever with default email app...
I have not tried the default email app.
The weird thing is that the email pat, even contact syncing works. It's just the calendar syncing.
I will post some screenshots of my TP when I get home.

With stock app, are you able to sync Hotmail calendars as well as contacts?
The calendar syncing is my issue, not the contacts.

I got sick of the Hotmail app and moved to the stock one and have ever since not been able to sync the Calendar. I'm not really comfortable with Hotmail calendar --> Google calendar --> Phone calendar. As mentioned by an other member earlier, this could've something to do with Android 4.0.x., especially since it was working with 2.3.6 for me. Have attached a few screen shots to show what I mean.
I guess this is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue with Android 4.0.x
This suck becuase I have all my dates in Hotmail calendar.
I guess should move to Google calendar
Simple change in settings solved the problem for me.
1. Set Sync frequency to Automatic - Push instead of Never.
2. Turn on Auto sync.
3. Wait for it to sync.
Live calendar will then appear in android calendar.

No the issue is your setup because I have 8 Android devices and all of them sync both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts (mail, contacts, calendars and tasks) without a hiccup

Whats wrong with my setup? I have un-installed the app, cleared cache, removed all accounts. I have used stock email and calendar app as well. What else could i try.
I really appreciate your help by the way.

Of course Ive taken for granted that you have double checked all your sync options in the apps you are trying to use and set them to push correct?
Also taking for granted that you have toggled all those settings on and off and rebooted in between toggles correct?

I have tried everything you have suggested, but I do not get the calendar sync option. Please look at these screenshots.
Hi there
I have an acer iconia a500 (ICS)and I have the same problem. Well, everything was working fine but suddenly my calender and contacts didn't sync.I figured out that microsoft wants us to use the dedicate app from the market. You can still use the stock email app for email only. What you can do is use the microsoft app only to sync calendar and contacts.

ICS and stock email app

Hello forum-mates:
I use the stock ICS email app which has exchange server and it syncs and emails are in but when I click on email there is no body for the email and all you see is the subject and sender with a blank white screen below.
I have flashed the same ROM three times with issue.
EDIT: also replaced the EMAIL.apk and Exchange.apk with stock one and no change.
Any cure?
Working fine for me, have setup 2 Exchange Accounts and 3 IMAP Accounts and all are working 100%, quite chuffed with it actually as the stock email client for GB was a pile of useless crap, the one on ICS is great.
Working well here. Two echange accounts working.
In fact it's too good, as it's picking up the server requesting permissions for wiping the phone etc.. I think that's Exchange 2010+.
Just let them try
Thanks guys,
On Gingerbread I had setup Google apps email with no problem on email app (not gmail app) and it was working flawlessly, but now it doesn't as I see for a second a flicker of something to be there but disappear.
I did set it up on gmail account, but I was wishing for regular email app.
Exactly same problem here. The strange part is that it happens with only one of my two google accounts. Have tried deleting data, cache and mail accounts but no luck.
Help please!

Mine is perfectly OK... if it is OK with us and not with yours, then one of us is either lucky or doing something wrong... try to reconfigure again...
Just only one "unlucky" thing, is there any widget for the stock email?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
I have tried to put account 10 time. I have re-flashed the whole ROM 3 times. I have replaced the email and exchange app files with stock android and no luck. There should be something wrong.
Maybe this problem is only when you try to add the google apps account to regular email app?
My Google email account is also sync with stock email app, and together with my corporate email and two yahoo email accounts, they are working normally...
Not sure if adding another account of gmail would bring that problem of yours...

I son't want to steal this thread, but this i s very interesting. Since I use Android ()from 1.5 times till now) I've always used gmail app for well gmail But it has it's issues, like inability to send notification to third party aps and so on.
Can you please tell me how is your experience with using gmail in mail app? Did you try gmail app?
If someone here is using mail app with gmail account I'd also like to hear your opinions on this. Let's face it, Sony's mail app with two pane view and other improvements seems way better than gmail even from ics
Thank you in advance

NO,
and I gave up waiting for CM9 release whenever, hopefully soon and maybe that fixes the issue.
For time being, I have added all my Google apps account to Gmail account which works OK, actually they work just right.
Are you adding Google Apps too?
Thanks for the answer, hope I can do that soon cause I got a locked bootloader.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I don't think you are required to have unlocked bootloader to achieve this.
I meant the CM9 part not the gmail one. I got my accounts on gmail app too but I do like that the core mail shows notifications in the lockscreen.

I don't like it either but for time being is OK, Now with seeing Jelly Beans and more exciting feature, that is what I want I am about to buy a Nexus Galaxy and take Sony hardware out and put that phone's chip in there
Actually, I'm using my gmail account for purchasing of Apps only... and I always received notification (like yesterday, when I purchased "MyBackUp Pro")... this morning, I sent an email to my gmail account using my corporate and yahoo acounts (through Xperia S stock email)... just received and replied... and all of them are working normally...

get the semcemail.apk from xperia T files,
1. use root explorer or rom toolbox or any file manager with root access, delete the original semcemail.apk or rename it to semcemail.apk.bak (location /system/app)
2. copy and paste the xperia t semcemail.apk to /system/app.
3. change permission to rw-r--r--.
4. go to settings then look for email app then clear data.
5. open your email app then log again your data,
6. now you can choose the widget on homescreen.
look @ development section or general section, there's a thread for the xperia T files.
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31812779#post31812779
Just wanted to finally answer my own question. This is what I did and it worked.
Delete data on email app.
In Titanium backup, remove Email app and Exchange app
Restart
Go to this thread and download two files HERE
Change name (get rid of Google)
Move files to Memory
Move files to System folder
Change permission to RW-R-R
Move files to System/apps
Restart
and email app should fully function.

[Q] Facebook calendar not syncing

Hey guys I have added the Facebook acct (for syncing) but the calendar keeps saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Ive tried removing the acct and adding it back but its still happening. Any1 any ideas why this is happening or how to fix?
I'm having the same issue. Looks like the last time it sync'ed was 02/07 how about you? The strange thing is that Gallery sync on the same account is working normally, and contact sync for the facebook app itself is working normally.
I'm putting this down to an issue on facebook's side - as I've also tried removing the account and re-adding.
It would be interesting to see if our devices stopped syncing on the same day.
i am having the same issue as well, gonna give it a day or so and see if it works itself out. i agree that its probably on the FB side of things
Same here.. It's probably the FB protocol or something knowing them post if you figure it out. Wonder if newer roms work or not? Be a quick upgrade then port the new file umm

I'll upload the files tomorrow to drop box, odex and none, tomorrow some time..
Edit: Here is a link to the files. Suggest you backup your old ones first and replace. Delete dalvik cache, reboot, add the new account. Might take another reboot to get your apps going. Working in Jorte Calender now

Hi, you can also export your FB calendar via parameters in your FB web page, and paste it in your google calendar (always via web), activate it in your sgs3 calendar app and it's good
See link below for more details: (works for events and birthday)

Best mail client for exchange

I have been using the native client but I hate in notifications that it only shows one message unread not numerous ones. Also when you click it. It only takes you to inbox not to message.
Anyone know of how to fix these settings or another mail client?

You can set different tones for different times of the day, and per email contact. Works great, if you want to have a really loud annoying tone from important people.

the email app on the phone handles multiple accts of IMAP, POP, Exchange, etc.
They're separate apps natively...I'm basically looking for an equivalent to the All Inboxes function on iOS...

the email (not gmail) app will handle gmail as imap or activesync as well as any other accts. in a single or combined view.

MailDroid will do this, but its not a unified inbox, if thats what you are looking for.

You're right! Didn't know that...thanks for the info!
I use enhance email. I'm using m.google.com for gmail as exchange on 2 Accts. I really like it. Has combined inbox, fit to screen (mobile view) which was really important to me and I'm sure this app does more than my simple mind understands

I don't think this will do mutiple accounts, but by far the best Exchange mail app I've used is TOUCHDOWN by Nitro.
One of the things I LOVE about it, as opposed to using the built in Android mail app, is that any 'remote' admin features are ONLY applied to the Touchdown app.
ie: if your Exchange admin requires a password to get into your mail... if you use the standard android, you have to type it in every time you unlock your phone.... if you use Touchdown you only need to type it in when opening Touchdown.
And most importantly, last I checked, if the Admin wants they can remote wipe the DEVICE if you use the built in mail app.. with Touchdown they can only wipe the mail app's data.
I've used it for several years across multiple companies and it's pretty damn awesome. (It's not just mail btw.. it's also exchange calendars, and Tasks.. and they sync with the built in calendars and almost all widgets).

Email App issues :(

Email App issues
Whenever i delete a email it doesnt seem to actually delete them as when i go onto my PC there all there :S
is there a way to fix this issue?
also i have noticed theres no option to sync emails using email check frequency as theres no "Auto" option only manual and mins there after
i wish there was a way to get the stock android email app
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance as always
Well, does the email service you're using use IMAP or POP3? If you don't know what these are, then Google it. It'll take you 30 seconds.

Check incoming settings for the account. If it's imap, then there's no option to delete from the server, if it's pop3 then you have the option to delete from server when deleting on device.
AFAIK outlook is only imap these days. But hunt for pop3 settings with Google, there may be a work around.
